Matthew 8:18-22

New American Standard Bible

Discipleship Tested

¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, ^(A)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. ^19 (B)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” ²⁰ And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but ^(C)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” ²¹ And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” ²² But Jesus *said to him, “^(D)Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
